    Song: Backstrokin'
    --------------------
    
    Ok all you puss-sucking muthafuckers out there...
    This is for all you other bungleheads who want to know how to play the best
     music this side of Neptune. This song is always a pleasant way to empty my
     bowels, I hope they clean yours out too.
    
    Here is BACKSTROKIN'
    
    (Synth sounds at start)

    (Repeat both)
    (On repeat, play the little bit 3 times, then play 1st riff once)

    D-----------------|--------1---|----------1---|----|
    A-------------4---|----2-------|----2---2-----|4---|
    E-2---2-5---5-----|4-----------|4-------------|----|
    (This bit sounds more like a synth bass or something, but it's still bass...)
    
    
    G---------------|------------|--------------|------------|
    D---------------|------------|--------------|------------|
    A---5---5-------|5---5-------|5---5---5-----|5---5-------|

    A-----------------|2---2---2---2---|----------------|----------------|--
    E-2---2---2---2---|----------------|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---|1-
    (only play this the first time around)
    
    
    G-------------|----------|----------------|----------------|--
    D-------------|------4---|----------------|----------------|--
    A-----------3-|2---2-----|----------------|----------------|--
    E-2---2-2-----|----------|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---|1-
    (only play this the second time around)
    
    
    G-------------|--
    D-------------|--
    A---X-4-5-4---|--
    E-------------|1-
    (Play this bit 4 times)
    (then repeat back to start of synth bass)
    (ends with more crappy synth sounds)
    
    Obviously this was a simple one but hopefully I'll be able to work out some
     more difficult ones later.
